How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 66 ÷ 100 = 0.66
  2. Multiply: 0.66 × 6 = 3.96
  3. Check: Work backwards: 3.96 ÷ 6 × 100 = 66%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 66/100 = part/6, so part = 66 × 6 ÷ 100 = 3.96. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =66%*6. Forgetting to divide the percentage by 100 makes the answer 100 times too big. Note that x% of y always equals y% of x.

What the result means

3.96 is the 66% share of 6. The remaining 34% is 2.04, and the two parts add back up to 6.

Discounts: 66% off an item priced $6 saves $3.96, so you pay $2.04.

Adding and taking away 66%

Increasing 6 by 66% gives 9.96 and decreasing it by 66% gives 2.04. These do not cancel out: raising 6 by 66% and then lowering the result by 66% ends at 3.3864, because the second 66% is taken of a bigger number.
